Oppo BDP-93 not recognizing external hard drive

[barfle]

I'm sure my 203 plays DSD from my NAS

I wouldn’t be surprised. I WAS surprised when I discovered the files simply didn’t appear in the folders when I searched them on my NAS, and it took a bit of experimentation to figure out how to play them.

It seems odd to me that a file format would be recognized by one port but not another. I’m guessing it was an oversight, but I never worked at Oppo, so it’s just a guess.

OK, so Timbre can have a 2TB FAT32 by I can't? WTF?

C:\Users\Matt>FORMAT /FS:FAT32 G:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
The new file system is FAT32.
Enter current volume label for drive G: WD2TB

WARNING, ALL DATA ON NON-REMOVABLE DISK
DRIVE G: WILL BE LOST!
Proceed with Format (Y/N)? Y
Formatting 1.8 TB
The volume is too big for FAT32.
Format failed.

Took almost a whole day to run the format....

It shouldn’t have taken any time like that. Did you wipe the drive before you started?
